SoSA at the Zoo

Party for the Planet

The Akron Zoo's Party for the Planet event this year will be on April 26th . If you're not familiar with the event, it's something each AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) zoo hosts each year and ours generally has conservation-related partners from all over northeast Ohio at tables throughout the zoo for one day. Some tables have giveaways and some just have great information to share about the organization represented at the table.

SoSA is having a table at the event and looking for people to cover the table at the Zoo from 10am-4:30pm and would be expected to arrive at the zoo by 9-9:30am to be guided to our table location.
